Clean Your Kettle Effectively

To clean your kettle, use a mild detergent and a soft sponge for routine cleaning. For tougher stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and gently scrubbed. Always rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent water spots and maintain its finish.

Routine Cleaning

  • Use warm water and a mild dish soap.
  • Apply with a soft sponge or cloth.
  • Gently scrub the interior and exterior.
  • Rinse well with clean water.
  • Dry immediately with a soft towel.

Tackling Stubborn Stains

For mineral deposits or tough spots, a baking soda paste is effective.

  1. Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a paste.
  2. Apply the paste to stained areas.
  3. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Gently scrub with a soft sponge.
  5. Rinse thoroughly.
  6. Dry completely.

Avoid Harsh Abrasives

Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the enamel surface.
